This probably doesn't meet all your needs, but there are web services that get you to draw an approximation of a glyph, then present you with some possible unicode characters to match. I thought there were a couple of these sites, but on a quick search, I only find one for unicode glyphs: http://shapecatcher.com/ and another one for TeX codes: http://detexify.kirelabs.org/classify.html -- Jerry -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
